Nina Agdal, Lily Aldridge and Chrissy Teigen are pictured on the Sports Illustrated 50th anniversary swimsuit cover. The three models were informed that they would share the cover on Thursday, according to the New York Daily News.

Being tapped to appear on the magazine’s swimsuit cover is “some of the hottest real estate a supermodel can inhabit,” Sports Illustrated says.

The image of the three supermodels on the Sports Illustrated 50th anniversary swimsuit cover was snapped in the Cook Islands.

Sports Illustrated is owned by Time Inc., which will be spun-off into a publicly-traded company[4] by parent Time Warner (TWX[5]) later this year.

Supermodels aren’t the only beauties getting a turn on the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue’s cover, Mattel‘s (MAT[6]) iconic American doll Barbie recently posed for an appearance on the magazine’s cover[7].
